SONG 

Our  fathers'  God!  to  Thee.  Bless  Thou  our  native  land! 

Author  of  liberty,  Firm  may  she  ever  stand, 

To  Thee  we  sing:  Through  storm  and  night; 

Long  may  our  land  be  bright  When  the  wild  tempests  rave. 

With  freedom's  holy  light;  Ruler  of  wind  and  wave, 

Protect  us  by  Thy  might,  Do  Thou  our  country  save 

Great  God  our  King!  By  Thy  great  might. 

For  her  our  prayer  shall  rise 
To  God,  above  the  skies; 

On  Him  we  wait; 
Thou  Who  art  ever  nigh. 
Guarding  with  watchful  eye. 
To  Thee  aloud  we  cry, 
God  save  the  state! 


PRAYER

SONG 

O,  say,  can  you  see,  by  the  dawn's  early  light. 
What  so  proudly  we  hailed  at  the  twilight't  last  gleaming, 
Whose  broad  stripes  and  bright  stars  thro'  the  perilous  fight. 
O'er  the  ramparts  we  watched  were  so  gallantly  streaming? 
And  the  rocket's  red  glare,  the  bombs  bursting  in  air, 
Gave  proof  thro'  the  night  that  our  flag  was  still  there. 

CHORUS — O,  say,  does  that  star-spangled  banner  yet  -wave 

O'er  the  land  of  the  free  and  the  home  of  the  brave  ? 

On  the  shore  dimly  seen  thro'  the  mists  of  the  deep, 
Where  the  foe's  haughty  host  in  dread  silence  reposes. 
What  is  that  which  the  breeze,  o'er  the  towering  steep. 
As  it  fitfully  blows,  half  conceals,  half  discloses? 
Now  it  catches  the  gleam  of  the  morning's  first  beam, 
In  full  glory  reflected,  now  shines  on  the  stream: 

CHORUS — 'Tis  the  star-spangled  banner;  O,  long  may  it  wave 
O'er  the  land  of  the  free  and  the  home  of  the  brave!
